B.toaccomplishingC.accomplishing D.accomplished【解析】选B。句意:——你还能想出一个好主意吗?——这是我能想象到的提前完成工作的最好方法。Icanimagine为定语从句,approachto……的方法,to为介词。7.【解析】选B。句意:由于伦敦市长肯·利文斯通过去七年的努力,这个城市成了自行车环保城市。thanksto由于,幸亏,多亏。incaseof如果,万一;inadditionto除……之外,还有……;asfor至于,关于。【加固训练】(2014·福州模拟)Ibelievewecouldfacedelaysifwetravelbybus,______trafficjams.A.thanksto

B.hewouldgoonwithC.didhegoonwith D.hewentonwith【解析】选C。考查倒装句。句意:他的表演如此乏味以至于一些观众开始感到昏昏欲睡。在so...that...和such...that...引导的结果状语从句中,当so+形容词或such+名词位于句首时,句子要用部分倒装的形式;同时根据句意可知,这件事已经发生,谓语动词用一般过去时,故选C。15.【解析】选A。句意:你不知道我买到这两张票费了多大的劲。这部电影真的值得看两遍吗?havedifficulty(in)doingsth.做某事有困难;beworthdoing值得做……,所以A项正确。【加固训练】Somegroupsstillhavedifficulty______access______socialservices.A.gain;in
